TRUMP Administration efforts to get the Muslim Brotherhood designated as a terrorist group has support from Arab allies

Arab allies of the U.S. are expressing support for the Trump administration to declare the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization, according to statements from foreign officials and a senior administration official who spoke to Fox News. Disturbingly, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and National Security Advisor Traitor, HR McMaster have come out against doing it.

FOX News(h/t Trico L) Speaking last week at the United Nations in response to a question from Fox News, the Egyptian Ambassador to the U.N., Amr Abdellatif Aboulatta, expressed support for such a move. “It would be a positive step forward indeed,” he said.

Salman Al-Ansari, president of the Saudi American Public Affairs Committee, told Fox News that the West is suffering from “laziness and must do its homework.”

“The U.S. needs to confront the evils of the Brotherhood as soon as possible,” he said. “If you have Saudi Arabia saying the Muslim Brotherhood is a terrorist group, if you have Egypt and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) saying it’s a terrorist group, then what should stop the U.S. from designating the MB as a terrorist group as long there are hundreds of pieces of evidence that prove this fact?”

The Brotherhood is banned as a terrorist organization in Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Egypt. The UAE has also designated CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations) a terrorist organization.

Fox News previously reported on the internal debates and deliberations in the Trump White House on the move to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO.)

“The fight is far from over,” a senior administration official told Fox News. “The commitment inside the West Wing to the question of designating the Brotherhood has not waned,” the official told Fox News.

“The White House completely understands how the modern global jihadi threat, which the president has rightly described as radical Islamic terrorism, can be driven back at its roots to the Brotherhood.”

There were several Muslim Brotherhood operatives in the government during the Obama regime and we don’t know how many of them remain now. But considering that HR McMaster has refused to drain the swamp of any former Obama employees, it stands to reason that many of them are still there.

Christopher Holton of the Center for Security Policy, a group that has been at the forefront of efforts to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization, told Fox News, “It is an absolutely essential step. As the Egyptian ambassador well knows, the goals of the Muslim Brotherhood are identical to those of all the jihadist organizations, such as ISIS, Al Qaeda and Hamas: the establishment of an Islamic state ruled by Sharia.”

Holton blamed what he called “The Swamp in the State Department” headed by Rex Tillerson for stopping the designation so far. He also blamed some members of the Trump administration, including National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster.

Jonathan Schanzer, senior vice president at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told Fox News that during the early weeks of the Trump presidency a large number of analysts warned that the move was, “ill-advised,” arguing that the move “would alienate the Muslim world and encumber diplomacy.”

David Reaboi, the senior vice-president for strategic operations at the Security Studies Group, added, “Designating the Muslim Brotherhood would be a tremendous step in the right direction. The Muslim Brotherhood has been identified, rightly, as a threat by the countries that know it best — like Egypt, UAE, Saudi Arabia — among others.”

“These countries understand that the MB isn’t just another political or religious movement,” Reaboi added. “It’s the main engine driving the terror radicalization process. Any effort to combat Islamist terrorism needs to take the MB’s global network into account.”

Every western nation is going to have to remove all influences of Islam from it’s land. There is no other way to end this threat and action must begin very,very soon.

Would there be any doubt about what action to take if these Islamists were calling themselves Nazis – faithful followers of Hitlerian ideology, dedicated to global domination by the Third Reich and total submission by all nations to Nazi totalitariansim and the philosophies that go with it?

So what exactly is the difference and why the delay and prevarication?

Stewart, the difference is Mohammad ‘the fake prophet’ categorized Islam as a religion. The Muslims are taking advantage of that and using our laws to enhance their evil plan to Islamize the globe.
Add to that the oil revenue to finance this filthy plan.
The perfidious mainstream media is the source of this enhancement.
In short, money, power hunger and ignorance of Islam are the elements of the spread of that destructive system.

Back in the late fifties when I was in high school, I remember vividly how viciously the MB caused troubles. They acted violently attacking Christians and members of the ‘Wafd’ party, which was heavily supported by the Copts. I was an active member in it.
This horrible org. concentrated their violent activities in schools and universities. That was during the reign of King Farouk. He was a Muslim from a Turkish decent who did not hate the Copts, not as much as the MB any way, but was extremely corrupt. At last he was kicked out of the country by the FREE GENERALS. Mohammad Nagib was at the front of the movement for his age, Nasser was the active one. Nasser realized the danger of the MB. He arrested them and hanged them in public squares. Peace and calm rein the country for a while.

AND, I keep asking what is Pres. Trump waiting for?!!!!
CAIR and the like are very destructive orgs. in our county. I am sure that he knows that. So, again why is the delay in illegalize these diabolical hateful enemy in our country? I would really like to know.

You exhibit a sign of confusion. I am not a ‘slime. My degree is in political science. I know what Trump was and is. He is a LibTard, favors ‘single payer health care’m abortion on demand and massive boondoggles. He contributed thousands of dollars to the congressional campaign warchests of Clinton, Schumer and other AssWholes. He said that Billary were “great people”. He said that he had “Muslim friends who are wonderful peoplw”.

He put Rinsed Prick in the WH as chif of staff. He bourht in Dina Powell, a crony of Huma Abedin. Sweet loving Jesus Christ!!!!! Who is so blind as not to see that????

He put a Muslim lover with $$$ ties to the Gulf Emirates at the head of foggy bottom. He put an Islamophile with ties to McCain & SoreAss at the head of the NSA. Then he let that traitor sack the few NSA staffers loyal to Trump!

What is so difficult to comprehend about his reluctance to declare al-Ikhwan al-Muslimeen a FTO?!

2. He deludes himself that, despite the Quranic injunction to wage perpetual war on Jews, Allah’s statement that he would continually send someone to humiliate and torment the Jews and the notorious Genocide Hadith, that peace between Muslims & Israeal is possible and key to all the regioal conflicts.

A. HAMAS is the Falestinian Branch of Ikhwan!!!! Outlaw Ikhwan and you piss off the Falestinians so they will not pretend to negotiate peace with you, which they will only pretend in the best of cases.

B. It is about not rocking the boat. Avoiding any confrontation that might complicate diplomacy.

3. Rember the “complete Muslim ban” of December ‘ 16? What happened to that? PR, that’s what. He thought he would minimize criticism by spinning off to a geographic based ban. Now he has the worst of both worlds. They are tearing him apart in court.

Extra Discredit: focusing on Ikhwan is foolish. Ikhwan is a subset of the enemy which is Ummah al-Islamiyya: the set of [all believing Muslims]. Eliminating Ikhwan would not eleiminate terrorism. It would not stop the stealth Jihad movement here or elsewhere. It was outlawed in Egypt, but it came back and assassinated Sadat, but who recalls that fact?

Islam is the real FTO, the fountainhead of Islamic terror. Eliminate it and you elimnate all Islamic terrorism! For reasons stated above, Trump, the State Department and Congress do not have the balls to do that.

You are emoting, not thinking. Use Google to find his old interviews. The ones with Ophra and news shows, not shock jocks. Ben Fergusson has a list of his contributions on his web site and in a pod cast. Look up what he said about Israel and peace last year, too.

These Arab countries ban the Muslum Bro to protect their government. The Muslim Bro would want to replace their emirs & such with ISIS wannabes. These countries like Saudi Arabia want to keep their family in power, but still want Izslime to dominate our countries. They can do that without the Muslum Bro.
Trump needs to get a backbone, dump Muslum Bro & CAIR along with them!

What the HELL is wrong with Tillerson here? We all know mcbastard is a muz a___kisser but Tillerson too??? HOW can the damned vile murdering thugs in the filthy bro hood be ANYTHING BUT a terrorist org???? I mean they are the best damned real muzslime around. OF COURSE THE FREAKS ARE TERROR SPREADERS.

Follow the $ trail! Tillerson was Grand Wizzard of a major oil company that did business with the ‘slimes. He had to osculate Arab anuses to keep the $$$ flowing. I presume that he happily consumed all the shit fed to him by Academia, self-ordained ‘experts’ & the enemedia about Islam and internalized it.

Muslims should all be deemed terrorists as far as Im concerned. I read an interesting article where the arabs werent happy SA elected themselves as custodians of Mecca, controlling visas and shovelling their whabbism down everyones throat. Heres an interesting excerp from the article ‘The British gave him a free hand in the Hejaz and the Nejd as part of Britain and France’s secret agreement to divide the Middle East into their zones of influence, in the Sykes-Picot Agreement, named after their respective foreign ministers’. Wonder if this is another reason for so many muslims in Britain/France, note the secret agreement …

Who said he was “made victorious with terror”: Hassan al-Banna or Moe?

#TRUMP Get off yer arse and designate Islam an FTO! Alienates Muslims? So what? They are already alienated enemies, not allys nor partners! Make diplomacy difficult? Diplomacy is the fine art of telling the enemy to go to Hell and making him look forward to the trip with great anticipation!

Hell, take the help wherever you can find it. The Arab elite seem like a different group that the low IQ brethren. I even read that some important Arab says they should follow a vegetarian/vegan diet, something I’m for. Once you’ve seen our industry, and the halal industry, it’s not hard to quit meat.

Is the Muslim Brotherhood Sunni or Shia? I Googled it ….but as usual I would need ten years to read enough to find out. The fact that Saudi Arabia ( strict Sunni ) nominates them as ‘terrorist’ would tend to indicate they are possibly Shia. Thus far Tillerson impresses me at every turn. A steady hand on the tiller is always good.

TBI: Here’s how to keep it straight. Iran (Persia) is mostly Shia. There are some Shia in countries near Iran, and small pockets of Shia in other countries. Other than that, the rest are Sunni- 90%. Since the Muslum Bro is everywhere, it is Sunni. If it were Shia, you’d just hear it was in Iran.

dismantle obama care restructure the tax code pull the teeth out of north Korea and by xmas Donald will go after the Mb unless the muslims try to murder one of his voters then they will find themselves at the head of the line in priority’s … your move cair

Unfortunately this IS a game to them, who they effect with their antics are of no concern. It just goes on and on, look at the money blown on the “Russian” BS, the tax dollars wasted on salaries of Maxine Waters, Pulosi, etc., as they spend every waking moment trying to “impeach Trump”, over nothing but the fact they don’t like him. This is obscene.

U.S. Army Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Wiliam “Jerry” Boykin is not afraid to be called an islamophobe which makes him another viable replacement for H.R. McMaster. Enough Irish Mafia collaborators with islamists already.
